Wiki Abscess vs complicated open wound....

This is how I would probably code it without seeing the MR.

10060 for the I&D.... linked to #1 dx
11042 is most common in our office (depending on how deep the MD went) for the debridement.... linked to #2 dx
682.2 for the back abscess
709.8 for necrosis of the skin

Hope this helps...
